Manually reviewing hundreds of pages of medical records, extracting dates, matching treatments to providers, and building chronological timelines consumes 6-8 billable hours per case. Paralegals struggle with inconsistent date formats, duplicate entries, and the tedious work of cross-referencing bills to clinical notes, all while risking missed events that could impact case value.
Personal injury attorneys spend 10-15 hours manually reviewing hundreds of pages of medical records to create chronological timelines. This tedious process delays case preparation, increases costs, and risks missing critical medical events buried in voluminous documentation.

CaseMark automatically extracts every medically significant event from your records and organizes them into a comprehensive, date-ordered chronology with complete source attribution. Our AI identifies providers, diagnoses, treatments, and procedures while flagging discrepancies and gaps, delivering court-ready spreadsheets and narrative summaries in minutes instead of days.

A medical record chronology is a date-ordered timeline of all medical events, treatments, diagnoses, and providers extracted from your client's medical records. It serves as the foundational document for personal injury litigation, enabling you to quickly understand the medical journey, identify treatment patterns, calculate damages, and prepare for depositions and trial. Expert witnesses rely on chronologies to form opinions, and they're essential for settlement negotiations and mediation.
CaseMark's chronologies maintain the same factual accuracy as manual review while eliminating common human errors like duplicate entries, inconsistent date formatting, and missed events. Every extracted fact includes source attribution to the specific document and page number, making verification straightforward. The AI flags discrepancies and conflicts for attorney review rather than making assumptions, ensuring you maintain control over how ambiguities are resolved.
CaseMark processes all standard medical documentation including hospital admission and discharge summaries, emergency department records, physician progress notes, operative reports, diagnostic imaging reports, laboratory results, physical therapy notes, psychiatric evaluations, pharmacy records, and billing statements. The system handles both typed and handwritten records, extracting information from PDFs, Word documents, and scanned images regardless of formatting inconsistencies across different healthcare providers.
CaseMark identifies the incident date you specify and distinguishes pre-existing medical conditions from post-incident injuries in the chronology. The system performs gap analysis to identify periods where expected treatment is missing from the records, flagging these gaps for your review. This helps you identify missing documentation, assess treatment compliance issues, and understand the complete medical picture including information that may be unfavorable to your case.
